Investing in
Tomorrow’s Leaders
L
eaders on and off the course. With
your help, that’s who the Western Golf
Association is helping to create each day.
Annually, the WGA conducts three of
golf’s most prestigious tournaments – the
Western Junior, the Western
Amateur and the BMW
Championship, the third
of four PGA TOUR
Playoff events in the
TOUR’s FedExCup
competition.
Off the course, the
WGA sends more
than 850 deserving
caddies to college
each year on full housing and tuition
scholarships. Talk about the opportunity of
a lifetime.
Since 1930, nearly 9,000 caddies have
graduated as Evans Scholars, many going
on to successful careers in education, health
care, law and business.
This year, 865 Scholars are enrolled at
19 universities across the nation. Most
attend one of the 14 schools where the
Foundation owns and operates
a Scholarship House on
campus.
The WGA could not
make such a huge
investment without
the support and
contributions from the
thousands of golfers
across the nation who
also are committed to
investing in education.
This report recognizes these supporters
who, in the past year, have helped us to
create strong leaders both on the golf
course and in the classroom.
“
I will never be able to thank you enough for
making this scholarship possible. I do not know
where I would be without it, and I am thankful for
every second of it.

Tempers Good News
Dear Friends of the Evans Scholars Program:
A
s the Evans Scholarship program begins its 80th year, we want to express our appreciation
for the support of the thousands of contributors who have helped make our program
one of the finest scholarship programs in the country. Our supporters can take pride in
knowing that their investment in deserving young caddies is yielding excellent dividends. To cite a
few of the accomplishments of the Evans Scholars:
• Academically, the 865 Scholars at the 14 Evans Scholarship Houses continue to
excel – all Houses have a cumulative grade point average of over 3.0.
• Our graduation rate is 92 percent.
• The almost 9,000 Alumni have consistently supported the program through their
financial contributions – $4.2 million in 2009 alone and $47.8 million total since
the program began.
This good news is counterbalanced by the challenges confronting the program, especially
during the difficult economic conditions of the last two years. These challenges include:
•A continuing escalation of tuition bills, which have increased nearly 30 percent
since 2007 to $10 million.
•An 8.5 percent decline (down more than $600,000) in Par Club contributions in
2009 as many clubs across the country have lost members during the downturn.
•2009 tournament revenue was $1.6 million less than the previous year – another
sign that the economy has affected all aspects of the golf industry.
•As the two pie charts on the facing page illustrate, the combined Par Club and
tournament revenue decline, plus tuition increases, led to an operating deficit last
year for the first time in 30 years. Fortunately, we were able to cover it with funds
from the operating reserve in our Endowment Fund.
To keep pace with the developments in education, we’ve had to upgrade our facilities and
programs while also simultaneously tightening our belts. Last year, a new Scholarship House
was completed at The Ohio State University, and this year, the renovation and restoration of the
historic Northwestern University Scholarship House will be completed to meet present-day code
and Scholar requirements. Scholarship applications are at an all-time high.
The challenges confronting us mean that your continued support is more important than ever.
The Evans Scholarship program has played a pivotal role in providing educational opportunities
for caddies who have excellent academic accomplishments, an outstanding work ethic and proven
financial need. You have also played an important part in providing a life changing experience for
the young men and women who have become Evans Scholars. We thank you on their behalf.

public speaking. I just want to say thank
you to the people who have helped me
along the way.”
Both fell in love with caddying
at The Dunes Club in New
Buffalo, Mich. And now their
hard work on the course
and in the classroom – both
are valedictorians at their
respective high schools – has
been rewarded with an Evans
Scholarship.
Luke’s story begins in Kosovo, where
he fled with his family to a refugee camp
before their arrival in America when he
was 7. Once in the States, he faced culture
shock. He recalls his awe of the colorful
elementary classrooms and playgrounds.
“It was like coming to a high-tech world,”
he says. “All the new cars, seeing everyone
out and about was so strange.”
Blane plans to study chemical
engineering this fall at the
University of Michigan, while Luke will
be a pre-med major at Northwestern
University.
For the friends, family support has been
key to their success. Blane had high
standards to live up to – both his brother
and sister were valedictorians. “They made
sure I tried hard in school,” he says.
Now he’s looking forward to giving his
valedictorian speech at graduation. “I’ll be

Assimilating was difficult, but his parents
were encouraging. “They’re always pushing
me to the next level,” Luke says. Now he
has a valedictorian title to show for his
efforts. “It’s really motivational to know
you’re the leader in academics,” he says.
For both, the Scholarship is the greatest
gift they could have imagined. “It means
so much,” Luke says, “to know that people
have that much trust in me. I won’t let
them down.”

EVANS SCHOLARS
A Lesson in Confidence
E
stefania Vigil knows a thing or two
about overcoming challenges.
Golf was a major one for her. She entered
a new world at Colorado’s Roaring Fork
Club in Basalt when she began caddying –
and it took time to adjust.
“It was confusing for me,” she says. “I
was always trying to remember what I was
supposed to do. I wasn’t very confident.”
Eventually, she got the hang of it, and she
learned to appreciate the game.
Caddying also presented her a life-changing
opportunity – the chance to attend college
for free on an Evans Scholarship.
The second youngest of nine in her family,
Estefania knew money was tight. But she
always dreamed of going to college. “As
a little girl, I always saw myself with a
business suit and a suitcase,” she says.
She was awarded the scholarship to the
University of Colorado in Boulder last fall.
And school, she soon discovered, was her
next big challenge.
“It’s hard living with people from all
different backgrounds,” she says. “There
were times I felt out of place.” That, too,
changed with time. “I really feel like we’re
a family now,” she says.
“I really feel
the Evans
Scholars are a
family.
”
-Estefania Vigil
Estefania’s confidence only continues to
grow – and she knows caddying has helped
her immensely. “It made me come out of
my comfort zone,” she says, “just because I
did something most Latina girls don’t do.”
Her experiences have taught her a valuable
lesson: “I really can,” she says, “do
anything I want to do.”

Life Lessons Honored
or Bob and Evelyn Thies, the life
lessons that have served them best
came from their parents.
“We learned that success in life is based
not only on your own hard work but on
the generosity of others, and we wanted
to honor that life lesson,” said Thies, who
earned an Evans Scholarship as a caddie
at Midlothian Country Club, married
Evelyn 18 years ago and now owns a dental
practice with two locations in southwest
suburban Chicago.
Bob and Evelyn chose to honor
their parents by funding two Evans
Scholarships: the Nicholas and Mary Ann
Thies Endowed Named Scholarship at
Midlothian, where Bob and Evelyn now
are members; and the Joseph and Adelaide
Olivieri Endowed Named Scholarship
at Flossmoor Country Club, where the
Olivieris were members for 30 years.
For Mr. and Mrs. Olivieri, the Named
Scholarship provided a confirmation that
their lessons were taken to heart. “Children
don’t come with a manual,” they observed.
“You just try to lead by example. One day
you receive a special honor as this and you
think, maybe you got it right.”

www.wgaesf.com
“In our family, college has always been
a given,” the Olivieris added. “In some
families, although this sentiment may
be shared … ‘financially’ it may never
come to fruition. The Evans Scholarship
program takes a dream and turns it into a
reality. Our son-in-law, Dr. Robert Thies,
is but one sterling example of the success
bestowed upon an Evans Scholarship
recipient.”
For Bob’s father, Nicholas, the honor
confirms a decision he made as a young
man when he married Mary Ann. “I had
a wonderful wife and mother. She really
did a good job with our six kids,” he said.
“We promoted basic American principles
of honesty, trust and respect, and to do the
best you can.” Mrs. Thies passed away in
1992, but the values she and Nick shared
live on through their children.
Dr. Thies, a Western Golf Association
Director since 2007, and his wife, Evelyn,
appreciate the inherited nature of their core
values. “With these scholarships,” Thies
noted, “we’re acknowledging that our
parents’ life lessons for us were learned.”

Planned Giving
Today’s Commitments
to Tomorrow’s Scholars
A
s friends of the Evans Scholarships
consider making larger
commitments to help preserve
the 80-year-old caddie scholarship
program, planned giving offers an effective
alternative means of support.

on planned giving
opportunities,
contact Jerry
Dudek or Jim
Moore at (847)
724-4600 or
dudek@wgaesf.
com and moore@
wgaesf.com.
Planned gifts can help maximize the value
of contributions to the Evans Scholars
Foundation and provide possible tax
savings for the donor.
“We must find new revenue to guarantee
that future caddies will have the same
opportunity to attend college as has been
enjoyed by over 10,000 caddies since the
Western Golf Association first agreed to
sponsor the program in 1930,” WGA
President and CEO John Kaczkowski said.
“While we are struggling to keep up with
our annual commitments, we understand
that many would-be donors rely on their
savings and investments to provide current
income,” he said. “By deferring a major
gift through planned giving, donors are
able to obtain present benefits while

knowing that ultimately their invested
funds will support their favorite charities.”
Some planned giving programs provide
for a continuing income to the donor and
a second beneficiary, noted Jim Moore,
WGA Senior Vice President of Foundation
Advancement.
“Because the laws governing planned
gifts can be complex and are constantly
evolving, a donor’s attorney or tax advisor
should be consulted when a planned gift is
under consideration,” Moore said.
The WGA development office is expanding
the Evans Scholarships planned giving
program, including establishing a means
of formally recognizing all planned gifts,
added Moore.
“As we face continued increases in our
college costs, and as more families face
hardship due to a tightening economy,
securing the future financial success of the
Evans Scholarships is now more important
than ever before,” Moore said.

McGuigan, the Evans Scholars Foundation’s first
educational director, whose visionary guidance and
tireless spirit fueled the program’s growth during his
41 years with the Foundation.

Golf Professional Par Club Members
T
he support of golf professionals is especially gratifying to the Evans Scholars Foundation. The cooperation of professionals,
especially the club professionals, is essential to the continued growth of the Evans Scholars Program. They are primarily
responsible for the continued use of caddies and have the closest contact with potential Scholars. Their desire to give back to
the game by helping send caddies to college is recognized with great appreciation.
